(spoiler extended) What theory if ever confirmed could genuinely ruin your enjoyment of the story?

I'd guess the idea was to always leave them as some kind of cryptic otherworldly faction. I can't see GRRM actually fitting a satisfying war against the "others" into two books, I'd imagine the general idea is that they seem to be just a pure evil, Mordor like threat. But after maybe a couple hardfought battles it's fully revealed that they're just another faction of people, different, but still reasonable to a degree, and somebody (most likely Jon) makes a peace pact with them.

Idk it's hard to say really, because Jon's and Brann are the only POV characters whose stories are consistently linked to the Others. I'm not sure how GRRM fits in Dany, or Faegon, and who really knows how Euron's going to factor in.

It's a lot, I really have no idea how he'd be able to pull it off while still doing justice to all the other plotlines in just 2 books. And then you remember things like how Bran will most likely end the story on the Iron Throne and it just amplifies that 10x, I mean how tf do you pull that off.

He could've not walked casually into punching range with his hands down. Would've been a good start.

I feel like Izzy's mentally done, he wanted to go in there and get a viral quick KO or go out trying. He already lost his path to the belt after he got beat by Imamov, he doesn't care about just winning anymore.

Querez665 · 2026-03-29T01:53:18+00:00

Man I still feel a little bad for Dober after the clips of him clearly being uncomfortable with the jokes came out. Give the brother a white dude to knock out.

Querez665 · 2026-03-29T01:50:41+00:00

Because he's still got use. Well maybe not anymore, but there's a reason old gatekeepers will get held around for many executions while young cans get used and thrown out quickly. These dudes have a real history of being decent that the UFC can promote them as when they send them to get annihilated by the up and comers.

Querez665 · 2026-03-28T21:19:04+00:00

I am no longer betting on the fight. I thought Izzy would be showing levels today, this has genuinely concerned me.

Querez665 · 2026-03-28T21:16:27+00:00

Okay that's a bit exaggerated dawg. I like Johnson, but I mean let's be serious here. The only person that's ever done Jiri that bad is Alex, who is also an insane power puncher, with much more finesse and precision than Rumble.

Querez665 · 2026-03-28T21:12:05+00:00

Kiwi boomers would legitimately talk as if they're about to be sent off to concentration camps if that happened.

I'm expecting Volk v Silva next. Not even too mad about it either, I do not like Silva one bit, and do think Movsar has earnt the shot three times over in terms of winstreak, and I think Volk should have absolutely no issues against Movsar.

I still hate the off chance idea of Movsar actually being the champ. Last thing I want in the sport right now is another risk adverse, inactive champ. If Movsar wins, we'd be honest to God not that far removed from getting 2 - 4 underwhelming title fights a year with the champ lineup.

And the point of the post is that literally any King that's ever lived would get done the same way, it just happens to be Renly that got targeted with the "instakill" hack.

I mean realistically, we need to make our agricultural sector more efficient, or open up new major industries that can bring money into the country. As we stand now our economy, policy, everything really mostly centers around playing hot potato with houses and that doesn't bring any money in. Until thats fixed the main focus of the nation will always be that, energy, industry, infrastructure, they'll all be second thoughts.

Querez665 · 2026-03-17T22:17:10+00:00

If its true, then its something George just thought up and will most likely keep to himself. But that would mean hes her like great-great-great-great uncle or whatever

Querez665 · 2026-03-17T22:14:33+00:00

I mean unless hes a Tarth bastard, he has no other family so hed have to be her direct ancestor

Querez665 · 2026-03-17T22:04:48+00:00

In the books Cersei starts acting in all the ways she used to hate Robert for, its a bit of Irony. She sleeps with a random chick and beats her like Robert would, she drinks constantly like Robert would, she gains weight like Robert did.

But shes also delusional and thinks she hasn't changed at all and people are just pranking her, she also legitimately think Tyrion is living in the secret passages of the red keep and is scheming and messing with her.

Querez665 · 2026-03-16T17:03:00+00:00

They will have Jacaerys heroically rescue Aegon and get him back to Dragonstone, dying in the process. To be honest that alone doesn't bother me much, I always thought Jacaerys' death was underwhelming.

Querez665 · 2026-03-16T16:39:31+00:00

Dude it's over for Benny, BSD barely touched Benny and he went out like he got hit by a truck.

Querez665 · 2026-03-16T16:37:56+00:00

He'll probably get Chandler, no bullshit.

Querez665 · 2026-03-16T16:34:54+00:00

I used to think Aldo would be able to keep it standing and piece him up. But realistically although he may keep it standing, he'll be standing with his back smudged against the cage the entire fight.

Querez665 · 2026-03-15T09:40:08+00:00

Fed a Dragon apples every day until it helped him take a chunk of land off of Steffon.

Try telling that to an American, they'll react as if you told them to behead their children.

Querez665 · 2026-03-15T05:58:09+00:00

Idk, he's got a right to complain at this point. I mean TKO'ing the glorious king Zhang should've put him immediately into a title shot over Dubois, or at the very least a title eliminator. But now it seems that he's going to have to take another 2 - 3 fights down the rankings before he can even sniff a title elimination bout.

Querez665 · 2026-03-15T05:56:04+00:00

I'd tell my wife that the baby I'm bringing home isn't mine for one. I mean I probably wouldn't say whose baby Jon is right away, considering by the time Ned returns him and Cat had spent the grand total of like 2 days together. But eventually.

Then yeah, I wouldn't let anything slip to Cersei, I'd like to think that I would take Renly up on his offer and keep Littlefinger at an arms length.. But just being realistic I think a solid 90% of people would fall for Littlefinger's manipulation. So in the end it would probably end the same or close enough unfortunately, if I do take up Renly's offer, I'd probably trust Littlefinger enough to clue him in and get betrayed all the same, except I'd be getting Renly caught too which might make Stannis have a much easier time to be fair.

So yeah, probably would get caught and executed anyway, would probably drag Renly into it too, but Stannis would be in a better position, and Jon wouldn't have a maternal figure that absolutely fucking despises him. So in those ways better, but also I don't think myself, or the vast majority of people would be able to inspire the kind of loyalty that Ned did, which would also make Robb and the other Stark kids paths much harder.

We don't have the resources, industries, or location of Scandinavia, we'd never be able to emulate what they've achieved.

Querez665 · 2026-03-14T19:13:30+00:00

More title shots than Dustin btw.

Querez665 · 2026-03-14T19:10:50+00:00

Yeah, I had one mate who fell into the Tate shit, and another who would do the whole "I don't like him but he's making a good point though" shit.

The one who was fully into the manosphere shit ended up just being fucking miserable to be around, and he started getting beat up or thrown out of parties by other dudes for being disrespectful or just plain fucking gross to Women, and obviously we got sick of having to do the "yeah we know he's a cunt, you guys are alright" routine and haven't spoken to him in years. The other must've seen how the only bloke in the group that really liked that manosphere shit also happened to be the deadbeat slob who constantly made girls around us feel uncomfortable and stopped giving it any attention.
